Compliations

When I originally wrote the Albums/Compliations section, I planned it to hold only those album and compliations entirely released by the band. However, a kind soul has added "A Gothic-Industrial Tribute to The Smashing Pumpkins" which does indeed feature Rosetta doing a cover, along with many other acts. I'll therefore be splitting the section into Albums (to include compliations of entirely Rosetta material) and Compliations (to include any compilation of multiple bands in which Rosetta features). However my knowledge of the compliations the have featured in is skant, and extends only as far as knowing that there are plenty. Andrew Oakley 12:00, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have found some unverified lists of them online here and here for example - I am not sure how it would be expected for them to be verified other than listing them by Date of release, featured song, record company etc and checking several sources to clarify their validity....

Edits to history

I have removed non-verifiable speculative comment on causative factors contributing to Rosetta's disbanding, as it is unreferenced hearsay and indeed does not adhere to Wikipedia biography of living people's policy.

Time of Porl's finger accident narrowed down to late 1997 as it was a few weeks/days prior to their 1997 Birmingham Christmas gig but have yet to be able to confirm the exact date - "some point in the late 1990's" did however not appear to be of any help at all. Confirmation to it's affect on Porl's guitar playing style I cannot comment on, as I was not aware that it had any great significance, citation or verification would be useful if this was the case.

Further edits

Have reviewed the history section with reference to their known discography and added context by including pre-1991 history, context of US Cleopatra Records releases, further releases and Karl North's current status. Checking official discography times based on available online second hand copies of deleted and no longer available albums have clarified release date of albums, esp gENDER cONFUSION, summarised final year of activity, and edited minor grammatical points including the past tense of the status of the band.

2019 new album

I've given the page a reasonably thorough overhaul in light of the new 2019 album. Can someone closer to the Miserylab material also update that page, please? The new Rosetta album contains a lot of reworked Miserylab stuff. Cheers Andrew Oakley (talk) 20:52, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
